‼️ Attention Gulf Coast Anglers: the 2026 federal red snapper season will oFISHally open May 22! 🎣
Red snapper fishing is open year-round in Texas state waters. Bag and size limits for federal and state waters will remain unchanged.
Learn more about the 2026 red snapper season opening and about a new gulf-wide research 'disCARD' study: https://bit.ly/2026FedRedSnapperSeason
Don't forget - anglers fishing in federal waters MUST have a rigged and ready descending device or venting tool on board to use on reef fish exhibiting signs of barotrauma.
Texas anglers are also encouraged to utilize the Texas Hunt & Fish App to log red snapper landings. Anglers can use the app to log harvested game species, view harvest history, save photos and share harvests on social media.
